NEW YORK. August 24th.-Tspecial.l .l-Teller
Scott, of the MAMMA tan Bank, did not trust his
affairs entirely to John Dunn when he stole
Sl50.000 i'll June and fled to Canada He left
$4,000 with Dunn, and it was generally sup
posed until TO Gay that he took SO, 600 with him
but he was afraid of being arrested for having
stolen money1n his possession, and afraid also
that Dunn would weaken and deliver up the
money in his possession. He was afraid also
that he might have big legal fight to escape
extradition. SO he put the remaining $4,000 in
the hands of Mrs. Fannie B. Roberts, of West
Thirty ninth street, with whom he had been
very intimate for year. She promised to guard
it carefully and go to Canada, if necessary and
the money when required. He didn't need such
protection, and did not communicate with her
until Il few months afterward, and then she paid
no attention 10 his letters
This is the story set forth in the affidavit made
by Scott last June. Now the bank has sued Mrs.
Roberts to recover the money. The woman has
elegant apartments at l05 West Thirty-eighth
street, but is not in the city row, and probably
will keep away. She is not known to the police,
but formerly lived in San Francisco.
MRS. ROBERTS DENIAL
NEW YORK, August 24th.-ISpecial. To-day
the Sheriff could not find Mrs. Fannie Roberts,
tie woman supposed to be concerned in the af-
fairs of the runaway bank-teller, Scott, but a
Mail and Express reporter found her yesterday,
and to him she denied in full the story of her
friendship with Scott She says she never
knew him, and never received $4,000 from any
man. Now she is missing.
MRS. ROBERTS ARRESTED.
NEW YORK, August 2ith-P. M.-Mrs. Roberts
was found at her residence tonight by the
Sherifs officers and put under arrest. She

CHILD LABOR.
How Children are Reared in Ignorance
and Hardship.

ICopyiga, 1887, Jx The California Associated Pre,s.
NEW YORK, August 24th.- Especial. - The
State Factory Inspectors have published their
first annual report of their investigations of
child labor in the different factories. They re-
port that the ignorance is alarming. Thou
sands of children born in this country, or who
came here in early childhood, are unable to
write, and almost as many are unable to read;
and still other thousands can do little more than
write their own names. Possibly one third of
the atfidavits of parents examined in factory
towns, were signed with cross-mark. Children
born in Europe and who lately came TO this
country, are much better informed than chill
dren born and reared in our own State.
The Inspectors claim TO have found more than
200 children under sixteen years of age en-
ployed in the cotton mills at Cohoes, New York
A large number of children under thirteen years
of age have been excluded from the factories of
the State BY the operation of the factory law
